After spending most of the last year inland, that wonderful ocean air felt like a magic potion as soon as we crossed the causeway. Something to do with ions, right? And the delightful coolness of course. There's a reason they call it 'Long Beach Island'! It goes on forever. We didn't spend much time walking on the beach this time, but we hope to return in September and I'm promising myself that I'll walk all day long and see how far I get!



Meanwhile, we had a very nice visit. We did go look at the ocean.


We visited with some of Jim's old friends. Here's Tom and Betty - Jim's known them since the early years of high school.


And their daughter Jamie with Tyrone.


And, we thought we'd died and gone to heaven with this view out the front windows of our motorhome.



Here's the guy who makes it all possible for us. THANX Jimmy!


Now we're on our way south - to Florida and scuba diving!! We have a few parks to visit on the way - New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia and Orlando. Then, we hope to find a boat to take us diving over the July 4th weekend. We want to be underwater for our anniversary!
